@bitter69uk (cont.) ... as he narcissistically perfects his vintage-1950s combover in the mirror) that ends happily with her success, with her last pitch "I want you to stop combing your hair and ... kiss me," to which he turns and says (the from there iconic line), "Baby, you're the ginchiest!" The Catholic Legion of Decency banned such P.I. shows, as graphically depicting reckless serial kissing.

@bitter69uk Yes ... Connie Stevens on tv private-eye show Hawaii Five O played, per its promo, "that cute little chick called Cricket" ... chirpy and featherheadedly harmless. Yet in that character (singing to a handsome male character "Kookie" played by Edd Byrnes in a rival private eye show 77 Sunset Strip) she and he had in America a charttopping hit-single 45 rpm record duet, she singing comic plaintively to him, "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb" (to seduce him from his mirror) ...

Jerry tried to do these sexy screwball comedies as he grew older in the mid 60s. His audience decreased. In the 70s Jerry was trying to clean up the movies industry. Strange huh? His theater chain didn't work out well.
Jerry was a crazy kid and then a crazy man on film. This stuff ended it. He should have stayed funny.

Why, Jerry Lewis was quite handsome!

This was such a fun, silly movie.

This clip is fascinating in its awfulness! So kitsch. It's films like this that killed the traditional Hollywood studio system in the 60s. I love the cheap, shabby set. Connie Stevens's emotional range never seemed to stray beyond "perky" and "chirpy". Anita Ekberg almost unrecognisable with dark hair.

@Mulsanne917andkink , yes, thats what I meant, Howard Morris...and Dennis Weaver was his partner, if I remember correctly.

@klmullins65 Almost! Yes, it had a character named "Shmidlap" who was portrayed by Howard Morris.
Morris also played Ernest T Bass, so ...you are right!

LOL!
This was during that period when you could walk into a studio tycoon's office, interrupt his acid trip and ask for millions to make a movie. A non-slapstick Jerry Lewis movie on the moon? Sure. Jerry Lewis as the head a Nazi fighting organization? Hell, yeah! Tony Randall in a house under the ocean? Why not?

When will this movie make it to DVD??
Would love to see clips with Schmidlap (Howard Morris), Igor (Dick Shawn) and Gen. Howling Bull (Brian Keith). "You moron, you damn idiot! Don't you think I ain't got anything better to do than call up the moon every 5 minutes!"
